Structured synaptic inhibition has a critical role in multiple-choice motion-discrimination tasks.
Neural network models have been constructed to explore the underlying neural mechanisms for decision-making in multiple-choice motion-discrimination tasks. Despite great progress made, several key experimental observations have not been interpreted. In contrast to homogeneous connectivity between pyramidal cells and interneurons in previous models, here their connectivity is totally structured ...
متن کاملHumans do not evidence choice biases in simple discrimination tasks
Choice behavior in detection tasks demonstrates that perceptual decision-making not only depends on sensory evidence, but also on choice biases: the tendency to choose one alternative over the others independently of the sensory evidence. To assess whether choice biases pervade other perceptual decision scenarios, we asked humans to perform a simple common perceptual discrimination task with tw...
متن کاملLinking Local Circuit Inhibition to Olfactory Behavior: A Critical Role for Granule Cells in Olfactory Discrimination
In this issue of Neuron, Abraham et al. report a direct connection between inhibitory function and olfactory behavior. Using molecular methods to alter glutamate receptor subunit composition in olfactory bulb granule cells, the authors found a selective modulation in the time required for difficult, but not simple, olfactory discrimination tasks.
متن کاملPhysiological evidence for response inhibition in choice reaction time tasks.
Inhibition is a widely used notion proposed to account for data obtained in choice reaction time (RT) tasks. However, this concept is weakly supported by empirical facts. In this paper, we review a series of experiments using Hoffman reflex, transcranial magnetic stimulation and electroencephalography to study inhibition in choice RT tasks. We provide empirical support for the idea that inhibit...
متن کاملDoes number of options in multiple choice tests affect item facility and discrimination? An examination of test-taker preferences
Multiple Choice tests are utilized widely in educational assessment because of their objectivity, ease of scoring, and reliability. This study aimed to compare IF and ID of MC vocabulary test items and attempted to find whether these indices are affected by the number of options. To this end, four 20 item stem equivalent vocabulary tests (3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-option MC) were administered to 194 (1...
